Snowdonia National Park

Less than 2 hours from the Cheltenham Lodge Bed and Breakfast in Chester, Snowdonia offers breath taking views, even when just driving in the car and Lay-bys handily dotted around for you to pull into to take that perfect picture.

You have two means of getting up the mountain, by foot if you’re feeling adventurous, although I would not advise it during the winter months, as the weather can change within seconds. I found the best method was by train.

At the top the views go for miles and the coffee in the Café which was re-opened by Prince Charles are out of this world.
